Depending upon what orchid it is, there might be a need for CITES certification (applies primarily to species). Not every seller has a CITES license.

Other than that, you need a phytosanitary certificate. Depending upon origin and destination, that can run from $25 to $250. That is not the certificate cost, but the also the logistics cost. If seller is 3 hours from the nearest certification site, he/she has to do a 6 hour round trip to provide a certificate that perhaps costs only $15-35.

Then you have the shipping cost.
UPS does not accept boxes with live plants.
The US Postal Service is highly unreliable.
A 2 kg (5 lb) package with 4x4x16" dimensions, via FEDEX from NJ to Denmark is $92 - $115

As you can see, it is a bit pricey to ship a $30 plant.
